I've got poppers with bodies ranging from 1/2 to over 1 inch (excluding the tails). Poppers made of different materials, deer hair, foam, cork. I've tried different speeds and movements and I have fished them in the evenings or in particularly shaded areas, but have not, for the most part, waited longer than 20 seconds to get them moving. Usually I can take some bass on anything but a popper.

BTW, I have tried the ones with Jalepenos and cream cheese. If you put a hook in one of them you could probably catch me.
